Beginnings

Welcome friends! I have started this entry in the global technosphere because I have been in love with books since the age of 2. Among the busy business of being a new teacher, this is my outlet for sharing thoughts on a love of reading a wide variety of books. My inspiration can be summed up with a yearbook quote from a teacher written when I was 8: "To the only girl at recess I see reading a book. Good for you!"My blog title is quoted from a classmate who asked me this once. Believe it or not, I've also heard it as a teacher :D

After reading other such lists, book club recommendations, and brainstorming titles of interest, I've compiled a huge, ever-growing list of books I feel are "must-reads." Ambitious, but considering current life expectancy statistics, I have at least 50 years to read these & then I'll have to catch up to what I missed between now & then :D It's an ongoing process & a constantly changing list, so I'll update it here when I add to it & delete titles I acquire for my TBR shelf. Hope this adds to the enjoyment of other "bookies" looking for titles they feel obligated to read as a member of the human species...or simply personal gratification.

My subject interests are varied, but mostly revolve around movies, (auto)biographies, all forms of literature (classic, modern, contemporary), some philosophy, some science, and some popular fiction.
